Hope everyone will feel better soon. We all have colds here. Anyways, my family LOVES the Brady Bunch too. We have all the DVD's. We also have the first season of Full House and the kids love that show too. It's fun watching the old shows with the kids, because there is NO WAY we can watch t.v. in the evening together. Take care, AnnP.S. The kids like the Cosby Show too! Too funny seeing these shows again:)

this will date me but I loved the brady bunch show -- it was on Friday nights at 7PM. back in the day! we had strep throat at our house a couple weeks ago, but I can't say I wouldv'e traded it for the flu. hope you all get well, and that it doesn't nab the momma. oh I love that virgil kane song...that takes me back too! have a great day!

I was a big fan of Brady Bunch too! Grew up with it and still enjoy catching an episode or two when I can. You are a very multi tasking expert if you can pump and do other things at the same time. Impressive! Praying that the flu bug stays away from you!

Shelly--Thank you for being MY friend!! I have not been sick in a very long time....except a little cold a couple weeks ago...so hoping this won't get me, I can't imagine throwing up and laying on the couch all day and it coming out the other end too....and pumping and taking care of the baby and the others....

Yes, always thinking about ways to work out....just didn't work out the way I planned....today, I had the idea of somehow exercising while showering....not sure it would work out either though!!

Nicole--you guys just got over this flu thing, didn't you? You gotta take that water bottle everywhere with you, then you will drink it...just sip it all day! I can drink a whole one (4 cups) with each pumping!

Ann--I love Brady bunch because it brings me back to my childhood...hmmmm Cosby show and Full House? Have to check those out too! Good idea!

christine--you guys all had the stomach flu a while ago, you should be ok, right? Kiss Ava for me too!

Kathleen--(I love your name--Yes, a classic, we've seen all the Little House on the Prairie ones, now these are fun and funny!

Colleen--I sure this milk is helping something!!!

Gardenia--isn't it funny how songs and shows can take us back like that? You are not that much older than me, because that song brings me back to my childhood...and Brady Bunch, we watched after school! Strep throat is not fun either...just hoping this flu thing is gone by Easter!

Noreen--Thanks, hoping it stays away from me too...sometimes flu bugs are like that, the kids get them and we parents don't! and about multi tasking, the hands free bra pumping thing helps a ton!

Jill--Beware of the first episode of Downton Abbey, it's got something kind of shocking, and that never happens again, it gets much better after that!! We have puke buckets...good MN ice cream in buckets, buckets upstairs, buckets by beds, buckets by the couch...

Sarah--it's crazy ,Juliette was like 4 months when I met her, right? It's getting harder and harder as we get older and larger families, but it will then, get easier, right? :) first Communion end of May....Summer is coming, the kids keep talking about meeting in Alex again!

You be very careful Jamie and hopefully you will not get that nasty bug.I really enjoyed the great music and yes she does look fantastic. I'll pass on commenting on the rest of the story. Have a wonderful rest of the week and hope all the kiddos get well quickly.Hugs,Odie

The flu sucks, quite frankly. We've had stomach bugs and just nasty colds running rampant here for the past 2 months. Gross!Also, don't forget: you need rest to pump, so take this God-given chance to chill and get in some computer time. No need to overdo it.I LOVE Downton Abbey :) I loved it when it first aired here in 2010 and no one else knew what it was :)
